Nissan is presenting its new NV250 compact van for
European markets, but the badges are the only things that belong to the
Japanese automaker — everything else is a Renault Kangoo. Going on sale across Europe from
September 2019, the NV250 is available with multiple engine and interior
configurations, two body lengths, and a wide range of conversions. The Nissan
NV250 is also available in Panel Van, Crew Cab, and Combi body styles.
The panel van version is offered in two body lengths
(4.28m and 4.67m) and comes with several seating
configurations. The Crew version is only available with the longer wheelbase
and offers a maximum of four seats and multi-positional bulkhead for versatile
cargo space. As for the Combi passenger variant, it only comes as a short model
with five seats and “ample luggage room.”
The Nissan NV250 offers a maximum payload of up to
800 kg for the long wheelbase panel van version. Available
conversions include wood paneling in the cargo area, wheelchair access through
the rear door, and optional extras such as onboard refrigeration units.
The engine lineup consists of a 1.5-liter
four-cylinder diesel engine available in three states of tune: 80 PS,
95 PS, and 115 PS. The least powerful version is not available
on the Crew Cab model.
The new NV250 will be offered alongside the e-NV200
all-electric compact van. Unlike the Renault Kangoo Z.E., the Nissan NV250 will
not be available as an EV.
